Feng Shui (meaning Wind and Water in Chinese) is the ancient art of placement to promote harmony, wealth, success and health. Feng Shui deals with the location and architecture of buildings, along with interior design and exterior landscaping. A working knowledge of Feng Shui may even help in home selling and home buying in today's multicultural world.
Feng shui has thrived in China for hundreds of years, but this design philosophy has only recently made a splash in real estate.The concept has gained popularity in the United States during the past 30 years, and now frustrated home sellers are using feng shui to make their homes more appealing to potential buyers.
1. Make your front door welcoming. Energy enters your home at the front door, so invite it in! Make your door stand out by painting it a color that contrasts with your home, adding a new welcome mat and flanking the door with plants. Choose plants with rounded leaves as sharp leaves can appear aggressive to buyers.
2.Engage the senses as much as possible. Feng shui practices include lots of horizontal space and properly lit rooms.
3.Create space Create a "room of first impression." Buyers generally decide whether they will buy a home in the first eight seconds they spend there, so you want them to see the best room first.
4. Create a clear path to this room with a runner rug or with eye-catching art and accessories.
5. Furniture should not be placed in the direct path of entrances/exits of a room.
6. Be sure a solid wall of support is supporting large furniture. Placing a couch or bed under a window is a bad idea in feng shui.
7. Stimulate your home's energy with sound by adding a wind chime to the front of your house.
8. Remove clutter and depersonalize.
